Good morning, fine pic flopsy! So, these are the `Ice Towers'. We have international ice and snow sculpting competitions here every year. This was taken a few years back in town.

Welcome! Nice to see a new face. world famous "Klondike Kates" ?? Tell me more (I am a humble Brit) Hi There! I believe the name is in honour of Kate Rockwell, an early visitor to Yukon(in the days of the Rush) I don't know if this is supposed to be a discussion thread though, I googled proper keywords. So far, just promotions of the restaurant. However: "Kathleen Eloise Rockwell (1873–1957), best known as "Klondike Kate", and later known as Kate Rockwell Warner Matson Van Duren, gained her fame as a dancer and vaudeville star during the Klondike Gold Rush, where she met Alexander Pantages who later became a very successful vaudeville/motion picture mogul. She gained notoriety for her flirtatious dancing and ability to keep hard-working miners happy if not inebriated. She died in obscurity after some minor success training Hollywood starlets in the 1940s."
